Leigh-Anne on bonding with Jesy: “Our first night [at X Factor UK boot camp], we just started talking about our ex-boyfriends and how we were so over them and what they had done to us. We had a lot in common.”

Perrie on her audition: “My mom woke me up at 4 in the morning and was like, ‘Hurry up, we’re going to Scotland for The X Factor.’ I was like, ‘Please don’t make me do this! I’m scared!’ She literally had to drag me out of my bed and kept saying, ‘I know you’re amazing! I believe in you.’”

Jade on her friendship with Liam Payne: “I’ve actually known Liam for years. My mom and his mom talk all the time, so when he found out that I had made it, I think he was so happy. They all supported us and tweeted for us, and when they performed on the show [during our season], they were like, ‘We want Little Mix to win!’”
